HOMEMADE FLOUR TORTILLAS
I used a press, but you can just roll them out thinly.
They are really quick and easy to make.
I use tortillas quite a lot for lunch wraps and serve them with my veggie chilli, but the first thing I wanted to make when I made my own tortillas was cheesey bean wraps.
You see I've been craving them for a while.
Tesco used to sell a 3 Bean Wrap that I loved, in fact the only Tesco sandwich that was worth buying.
Of course, because I loved it so much, it was discontinued a bit like the roasted vegetables on sun-dried tomato bread and the mushroom and horseradish, which were glorious sandwiches.
I don't know why Tesco persist in selling such foul sandwiches when they got it so right with these.
MAKE IT SPICY
The original 3 Bean Wrap wasn't spicy, but I wanted mine to have a kick, so I added some Smoked Chilli Paste to my mayonnaise.I picked up a sample jar of this gorgeous paste when I was down in London at Food Blogger Connect in July.
This stuff is gorgeous!
The paste can be added to so many dishes and they also sell a spicy mayonnaise and spicy honey which I also loved.
I've just found out you can buy it on Amazon, but you could just add your favourite spices.
My wraps were delicious!

I love bean wraps. I haven't tried making my own tortillas but there is an uncooked type I love to bring home from the States.
ReplyDeleteIt's a new thing for me too Val. I couldn't believe how easy they were. I hadn't heard of those uncooked ones.
DeleteMy husband loves this sort of food and I love chipotle paste, smiles all round with this one x
ReplyDeleteThanks Deena. I'm with your husband, what a great flavour it brings.
DeleteLOVE your wraps... very rustic and the filling looks very moreish!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dom, they were really tasty.
DeleteI love the little panda bears!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on sandwiches, the ones I like always disappear, leaving behind just cheese and onion or egg mayo. Uninspiring and not all that tasty.
I also really liked Cauldron's aduki bean kievs and they are no more.
I bet those kievs were fab Laura, I would have tried those. It's so annoying when good ranges disappear.
DeleteOH would love this - although I would use black-eyed beans instead.
ReplyDeleteThey would be fab too Bintu :)
DeleteMmm, they look scrummy.
ReplyDeleteJanie x
Thanks Janie, they were :)
DeleteMmm, and more mmmm, cheese and beans are a fabulous combination and some spice and a nice homemade tortilla and I can't think of a better sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThanks Choclette, they were very, very good.
DeleteWow,beans! Just love this cheesy bean wraps recipe, I'm bit bean lover.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteTortilla wraps are amazingly easy to make :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I couldn't believe how quick and easy.
DeleteSounds like a heavenly wrap filling to me - I nearly always go for something beany if there is one. Shall be bookmarking your recipe! And I know the exact same wrap that is no more, must have scoffed it a fair few times myself :)
